Stylish Echo Cover Ups are available in the Swimwear Downtown Portland Boutique and also the local spot NE Portland Swimsuit Boutique.

Below are photos of the Echo Cover Ups, Cover Ups, Cover Ups!!!

Echo Design has been around since the 1920s. Edgar and Theresa Hyman, founders of Echo, have focused on creating beautiful and quality products and have proven to be masters of innovation in the design biz. Since the company’s origin, they have been known for pushing boundaries.  As a matter of fact, Echo was the first to put their brand name on a scarf. Intrepid! Echo has always been able to strike a perfect balance between bold and respectable fashion and the Echo Cover Ups fit right into this product image. Echo makes it east to look daringly good and still feel comfortable while in the sun enjoying the summer weather.

Maui and Son’s Men’s Swimwear is now available at  Swimwear Downtown Portland Boutique and the NE Portland Swimsuit Boutique.

Below is just one photo of Maui and Son’s Men’s Swimwear boardshort.

Thirty years ago, SoCal surfers were growing older and needing to figure out what to do with the rest of their lives. I guess they figured that grandpas tend to break their hips when surfing!  A group of these surfers thought maybe they’d start a cookie company named Maui’s Chocolate Chip Cookies…naturally.  But once they burnt their first batch of sweets, they decided to stick to what they love - surf gear.  But, it was not until 2008 when they opened up their surf shop and started the color and flavor for Venice Beach Boardwalk.

 Don’t let the laid back attitude fool you - Maui and Son’s brand has extreme creditability among surfing gurus. Cheryl Johnson the store manager makes sure the experience in store service is what the customer deserves. She has been a part of the Maui and Son’s family for 17 years. So, when walking around a beach with these shorts can get you a double-take from the ladies. Look now for your chance to sport the SoCal style and wear Maui and Son’s boardshorts. Just remember the store has the experience, but you have the chance to sport the flavor of the boardshorts.

Retro Swimwear by Popina is known for being many things: swimwear designers, couturiers, and fashion hunters of bygone eras.  That’s why we love Jantzen Swimwear.  Back in 1939, the Portland-based Jantzen Swimwear Company dipped its toe in corsetry, or “foundations” as they were called in that day. It was an intelligent attempt to diversify their products in the time of the Great Depression. 

Today, the style of the Corset has emerged as an icon of style of the 30’s and 40’s where women’s curves were exaggerated and celebrated.  Busts were beautiful! Hips were hip!  Today…the Corset has evolved to be more than a foundational piece, but a symbolic applause to the body of a woman. 

Popina Swimwear’s website features a Retro Inspired Corset One Piece from the Jantzen Swimwear line.  It’s subtle corset look and elegant silhouette makes for an instant classic look. 

Modeled below is the Retro Corset One Piece

Umm…just to warn you: you’re going to want one for yourself.

Hmm… I think you’d look good in red!

A timeless Red Bathing Suit like this Red Jantzen One Piece is a national treasure – no, really.  Farrah Fawcett’s iconic 1977 red swimsuit entered the National Museum of American History collection this February on what would have been her 64^th birthday.  The poster sold six million copies – a record amount.    

 Farrah Fawcett’s style, cherished in American culture, was always known to be effortless and free.

Jantzen Swimwear knows how to channel that classic American style with their line of Vintage Inspired Swimwear shown below. 

Popina Swimwear, the top shop for one piece swimwear, has many more classic bathing suit styles from Janzten Swimwear and beyond!

Jantzen Swimwear’s super chic One Piece Bathing Suits will get you singing Bob Marley’s “One Love”.  The slimming silhouette, the adjustable strap comfort and the flattering retro lower leg feature in ONE simplistic look.  This style also has all the support you need for bustier figures, too!  Now, the only accessory you need is a confident smile.  Popina Swimwear is the top shop choice for these classic retro swimsuit beauties, and we’ll ship it virtually anywhere.  Anywhere!

Here is our classic Retro Vamp Maillot in Black

“Let’s get together and feel alright”   - Bob Marley

 The Retro Swimsuits at Popina Swimwear draw inspiration from the most sophisticated icons of beauty.

Did you know Marilyn Monroe was a Jantzen Swimwear model?  Back when her name was Norma Jean Baker, she modeled the “Double Dare” white two-piece bathing suit (below). 

Jantzen has since drawn inspiration from Marilyn Monroe’s playful beach babe style and created a fantastic Vintage One Piece bathing Suit in White.  Feel free to frolic to the fullest with this playful One Piece Swimsuit that will stay in place as you have fun in the sun.  

Here’s our Retro One-Piece in White

Popina Swimwear offers many more of Jantzen’s Retro Style Swimming Suits at our online store. Come n’ get ‘em beach babes!
